His songs are intuitive, funny and catchy, and four of his albums are Grammy nominated, including 2020’s Wild Life, the first he wrote after becoming a parent himself. Talking in his sunny living room, he digs into the craft of songwriting and the business of releasing his own music. How does he distinguish between songs he writes for kids and adults? How can he thrive when his audience keeps growing older? How has parenthood changed his work? As an added treat, he performs two new songs. You don’t have to be a parent or kid to enjoy this Caropop conversation.
